Pete Aguilar represents the 31st Congressional District of California. He was most recently re-elected in 2020 and serves on the House Appropriations Committee. In the 117th Congress, Rep. Aguilar holds the leadership position of Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
Raising his family in the community his family has called home for four generations, Representative Aguilar understands the challenges that Inland Empire families face today. He started his first job at the age of twelve, working with his grandfather at the San Bernardino County Courthouse cafeteria. He then put himself through college with the assistance of student loans and federal grants, and later established a life in public service to give back to his community.
Women’s reproductive rights are under constant attack and we’re still a long way away from realizing full pay equity for women. In Congress, I’ve been standing up to the Trump Administration’s efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and restrict access to abortions, contraceptives and family planning services.
And I’ve been on the front lines fighting to close the gender pay gap, end wage discrimination, improve the quality of care women veterans receive at the VA, and eliminate workplace discrimination against pregnant women.
I’m proud to have a 100% lifetime rating from Planned Parenthood and will continue to stand up for women’s reproductive rights.
